St. Francis Xavier Cathedral

This is an old property but very well-maintained and clean. The staff were awesome and every interaction was memorable which is very rare in my traveling experience. Somewhat expensive for coffee or food; however, you have to search to find cheaper options in the south beach area. There’s also public parking around the corner which makes renting a car an attractive option. I would book again with this hotel.

We stayed 5 nights at Albergo Etico Roma with our toddler and had a truly wonderful experience. Our room (#303) was spacious and conveniently located next to the elevator, making stroller access very easy. The extra space was perfect for our child to run around and feel comfortable. The hotel itself is beautiful, with a fantastic location: just a 10-minute walk to Piazza del Popolo, about 20 minutes to the Vatican, and 20 minutes walk to the Spanish Steps. There is supermarket right across the bridge called, Todis Rione Prati which has everything for our toddler and local specialty food. What made our stay most memorable was the staff — from the front desk to the cleaning and kitchen teams. Everyone was extremely helpful, professional, and genuinely friendly, which made us feel at home. This was our fifth time in Rome, and we can confidently say Albergo Etico is one of the best places we’ve stayed. We will happily return on our next visit!
